{Nico takes a seat. Joshua musters his courage and plays the lyre. Everyone listens.}

Joshua
King of shadows
King of shades
Nico was king of the underworld

Nico
Oh, it's about me?

Brendon
{to Joshua}

Go on...

Joshua
But he fell in love with a beautiful lady
Who walked up above
In her mother's green field
He fell in love with Jenna
Who was gathering flowers in the light of the sun
And I know how it was because
He was like me
A man in love with a boy
Singing la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la...

Nico
Where'd you get that melody?

Joshua
La la la la la la la...

Jenna
Let him finish, Nico.

Joshua
La la la la la la...

And you didn't know how
And you didn't know why
But you knew that you wanted to take her her home
You saw her alone there, against the sky
It was like she was someone you'd always known

Workers
Ooh...

Joshua
It was like you are holding the world when you held her

Workers
Ooh...

Joshua
Like yours were the arms that the whole world was in

Workers
Ooh...

Joshua
And there were no words for the way that you felt

Workers
Ooh...

Joshua
So you opened your mouth and you started to sing:

La la la la la la la...

Joshua & Workers
La la la la la la la...

Joshua
La la la la la la la...

Joshua & Workers
La la la la la la...
La la la la la la la...
La la la la la la la...
La la la la la la la...
La la la la la la —

La la
La la
La la la la la
La la
La la
La la la la la la...
La la la la la la...
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la —

{Nico is overwhelmed.}

Workers
La...

Joshua
And what has become of the heart of that man

Workers
La...

Joshua
Now that the man is king?

What has become of the heart of that man
Now that he has everything?
The more he has, the more he holds
The greater the weight of the world on his shoulders
See how he labors beneath that load
Afraid to look up, and afraid to let go
So he keeps his head low, he keeps his back bending
He's grown so afraid that he'll lose what he owns
But what he doesn't know is that what he's defending
Is already gone

Where is the treasure inside of your chest?
Where is your pleasure? Where is your youth?
Where is the man with his arms outstretched?
To the woman he loves
With nothing to lose
Singing la la la la la la...

Nico
La la la la la la la...

Joshua
La la la la la la la...

Joshua, Nico & Jenna
La la la la la la...

{A red flower appears in Nico's hand. He offers it to Jenna. She accepts it.}

Brendon
Joshua Dun was a poor boy,
But he had a gift to give,
This poor boy brought the world back into tune is what he did.

And Nico and Jenna,
They took each other's hands,
And brother, you know what they did?
They danced.

{The two lovers dance as everyone beholds.}

Joshua
La la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
(La la la la la)
La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la...
La la la la la...

{Nico and Jenna embrace each other.}
